That would be >hypocritical behaviour IMO. No. It is acceptable to have an opinion but still appreciate someone elses. That isn't hypocritical. >So if you sincerely believe that they did their best then you're also vouching >for the validity of their decisions and taking a stand in the debate.

No the thank you's were with rudimentary reflection. As stated I see no issue with someone having a different opinion to mine. >If you want to thank someone for doing their best to arrange a match then the >obvious choice would be BGN and maybe ChessBase. They could easily have done it >without Bertil and Enrique. It wasn't difficult. No, as in my opinion Enrique went to alot of trouble hosting the match. Nothing to do with either BGN or Chessbase. However as I originally wrote; "Without wishing to get into any of the disputes regarding program selection and specifications etc." which you took to mean therefore I agreed and now you actually see I didn't. I'll end my participation on this subject as all I originally wanted was to express my thanks, which has now been done. Sarah.
